Blessings Can Come Out of Nowhere

Especially when you least expect them.

Blessings Can Come Out  of Nowhere
Success Praxis

Sometimes life isn't how you plan it to be. The prayers that you send up may not be what God has in store for you. When it feels like your train has become derailed and curveballs are being thrown at you at 100 mph, life can flip a switch and send blessings your way.

Life is full of crazy jokes. Everything can be going alright, then out of nowhere, it seems like you have lost control. Relationships, school, work, bills, basically anything can go from good to bad to worse in no time. Those are the times that you should pray and give it all the God right? He can take care of it - just pray about your troubles and he will provide in some way. Well, recently I have realized that God doesn't have to answer your prayers how you wish he would. He will answer them in a way that will benefit you the most.

If you need a toxic person out of your life, God will not vanish them off the face of the earth (unfortunately). Instead, you will be faced with an obstacle that requires you to make that decision yourself. It may not be how you would want it but in the end it is what you need. Making these types of decisions are not easy, and you have to be strong to make them. God can put you in a situation where you just need to walk away and never look back. That is exactly what happened to me. After praying every night and asking God to help me get away from this toxic person he did exactly that. There was a heated conversation between myself and the toxic person, and all of a sudden its like something clicked in my brain. I no longer wanted to be involved with that person, the desire I had for them was gone, and I felt free from their grasp. God had helped me walk away in a way I could have never imagined.

I am a typical broke college student. I have bills and rent due every month and a job through the university that doesn't provide me with much to get by. Luckily, I can get help from my parents if I need to, but others aren't that lucky. Relying on my parents is not what I had intended, but I am not financially stable enough to go without their help. I prayed for God to look out for me, to make sure that I don't fall behind and get myself in a messy situation. Once again, he prevailed. My job through the university wanted me to work more hours, and more hours means more money. Then I got a random call from my apartment complex asking me if I wanted to have a second job there, and the money I earn there will be taken off my rent. I could not believe that I had gotten a second job in a matter of seconds. It was like they knew I needed it.

God works in mysterious ways. That's a given. Sometimes we are just too wrapped up in ourselves and what we want to realize the blessings right in front of you. Things will work out in the end, but until then just continue to pray. God is looking out for you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
